^ That one requires a third party setting up the fight.

Yeah, Let's You And Him Fight is specifically a set up. This is more of a case of colliding storylines leading to a quick bout of combat, optionally to be followed by a team up.
Is there a trope for when two "groups" of main characters (or even just two main characters) first meet each other in a story, and there's a quick mini-fight to establish which one is more capable than the other before the story continues? It's not *quite* the Worf Effect since both units are already known to the audience, I think.
